they will update them all on Monday with all materials that arrived prior to March 15.

Will this include my LSAC report? As I said in my first post, my application was received on March 14 and they submitted a request to LSAC that day, but it hasn't been processed by LSAC yet. Does it matter that at the time the request was sent, all of my material were with LSAC?

I don't know. Why did you wait so long?

As long as you send the LSAC application on time, you should be fine with the other material arriving late.

[Nebby]

To the folks that were submitting near the deadline, has your status checkers updated to application complete?

Glad to hear! That means they should have started reviewing them this week as I assumed. Best of luck.

Is there a consensus on when folks are expecting decisions (Mid-April)?

Evidently, the first batch came out during the first week of April last year.

Last year, status checker started having changes March 27th. So be on the look out this coming week!

[txig]

So does everyone's status just say "Application Completed?"

[bsktbll28082]

Mine does

Application submitted: 2/17
Application complete: 2/20

Last year acceptances were predicted by whether or not the address on your status checker was adjusted. Such as "Apt" being changed to "Apartment." Or they will some of the time add "USA" to the country of origin or the address itself.

This has to do with the fact that they mail acceptance and email deferment. Last year, on 3/27 people had updates to their address and those people received acceptances. Other people had updates on 3/28, but didn't include any changes to their addresses. Those people got deferment emails.

So the address adjustments seem to be indicative, if following the trend from last year. Last year, 3/27 was the second Wednesday following the 3/15 deadline. This year the second Wednesday following the 3/15 deadline is tomorrow, 3/26. So it's highly possible there could be some status checker updates this week, if they are going to put the acceptances out at the same time as last year.

Lastly, none of the status checker updates (3/27 or 3/28) occurred until after 3:00 PM eastern time.

As you can tell, I combed through last year's thread with an eye for any detail I could find. Haha.

You are a saint! Thanks. I guess 3:00 p.m. tomorrow will be freak out time!

[Nebby]

I should also add that the status checkers update at different times, because they are all manually done by admission staff due to the small volume of transfer applications (relative to regular admission). So the only similarity I found was after 3:00 pm. But that also means some weren't updated until close to 5:00 pm.

Also, admissions closes at 5:00 pm. So there will not be any changes after 5:00 pm either. (Not that it stops me from incessantly checking anyway)

[UnfrozenCaveman]

F5 all around.

I will say to all you incessant checkers that I got the email for multiple schools to which I applied during regular decisions last year before my status was updated.

[bsktbll28082]

yolo- that was my exact response while reading counselor's post.

Time to freak out til about 3pm today then.

Not that I will be constantly refreshing my status checker in class today or anything.

[Nebby]

All of my insight solely derived from last year's transfer thread. So there is no reason why they would adhere to a similar schedule. We might not see any changes for two or three weeks.

I just hope not. Because by then I will have bitten all my nails off and started on my finger bones.

Best of luck to you all. Two words of caution about anticipating off of last year's thread.

1. Last year was unprecedented and didn't match with the trend of the four or five years before that, where decisions had been tracking later and later, towards the end of April. Hopefully for all your sake, last year was the start of a new trend to give decisions in March, but don't get your hopes up too high.

2. Tomorrow and Friday the Admissions Office is holding an open house for admitted 0Ls. It's a pretty big operation, and I would imagine will preoccupy most of the staff for the next two days.

Well that certainly has tempered my mood. Hopefully it is a new trend...

[bsktbll28082]

Anyone know some general numbers of how many transfer applications/acceptances there are? I read in one of the 'How To' transfer treads the incoming GULC transfer class was around 100.

[Nebby]

ABA data indicates they 112 incoming transfer students last year. 85 the year before.
